In this course, dyeing expert Siân Cornish takes you on a journey into the world of natural pigments and plant-based colour. You’ll discover where dyes come from - plants, trees, fungi - and how to extract their rich, complex hues to create a colour palette that’s uniquely yours. Learn how to set up your own home dye kitchen, work safely with natural materials, and experiment with a range of fabrics. With step-by-step guidance, you’ll master age-old techniques like bundle dyeing, resist printing, and shibori, and put your knowledge into practice with a series of dyeing projects that you can use in your home.

Natural dyer and visual artist Siân Cornish welcomes you to her very first course. Siân explains her practice of using colours from nature to create beautiful ribbons and fabrics and talks through the projects you’ll be doing together.
The first step in the natural dye process is to set up your own dye kitchen. You don’t need a huge space, and it’s best to keep it simple - Siân tells you everything you will need.
Before taking on your first project, Siân offers an insightful overview of the natural dying process, from types of fibres and natural dye sources to the methods and techniques you’ll be learning in the course.
